The Maze Runner

                      By. James Dashner

      The Maze Runner is about a boy named Thomas. Thomas wakes in a lift, or like a box or something. He cannot remember anything;his parents, his home, or how he got there. His memory is empty. When the doors of the lift open, he finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade. The Glade is a large expanse enclosed by walls. Just like Thomas, the other kids don't remember why or how they got there. All they know is that every morning, for as long as any of them can remember, the walls surrounding the Glade, open. Every night, for just as long they've closed tight. Every thirty days a new child is delivered in the lift. And no one wants to be stuck in the maze after dark.
         The Gladers were expecting Thomas's arrival. But the very next day, a girl is sent up-the first girl to arrive in the Glade. And what was more surprising was the message she delivers. The Gladers have always been convinced that if they solve the maze that surrounds the Glade, they might find a way home...wherever it might be. But it's looking more and more as if the maze is unsolvable.
   And something about the girl's arrival is starting to make Thomas feel different. Something is telling him that he might have some answers. If he can find a way to retrieve the dark secrets within own mind.
     I would rate this book with 5👍👍👍👍👍. On a scale from 1 to 5. It has a lot of drama and mystery in it. And I love anything with that stuff in it.

Series of Unfortunate Events

                                      By Lemony Snicket

       Series of Unfortunate Events are about 3 kids who lose their parents in a fire. They then go to a far away relative named Count Olaf. But, all he is interested about is the money and diamonds in their fortune. A they go from home to home trying to escape from him but he always finds him. He killed, kidnapped, did anything he could to get his hands on the money. The good news is in the end they always got away.
       I like this book because it has a lot of drama. You can kind of sense what is going to happen, but not all the time. 
          If I were to rate this book on a scale from 5 stars to 1 star, 5 being the best, 1 being the worst, I would rate it a 4. It was a good book but, some of it doesn't make any sense.  But, I would really recommend it.

                          The Fairest of them All    

   By Cathy Maxwell

        The fairest of them all is about an orphan who loves the adventure of picking the pockets of people to survive. But since she has extraordinary beauty and prized bloodlines, she is chosen to be the bride of a duke. The only problem is that the Dukes long lost twin brother once caught her stealing red handed but she doesn't know it's his twin. Eventually she falls in love with him but now she has to choose. The duke or his handsome brother. 
      It definitely has a lot of romance and drama. It's very suspenseful cause you never know what's going to happen next.
   On a scale from 1 to 10 I would give this book a 10.
